The last two buttons play the sound in different ways and, at the same time, set
the default play mode. The first button is the Play Normal button. This button
plays the currently selected section of data. If there is no data selected, pressing
the Play Normal button plays from the current cursor position to the end of the
file.
The next button is the Play Looped button. This button plays the selected section
in a continuous loop or, if no data is selected, the entire file in a continuous
loop. In addition, while the Play Looped button is selected, playback will follow
any new cursor position or selection that is made.
Whenever you play a file using playbar buttons, you will notice a small line
that appears underneath the arrow in the Play button you have selected.This is
the current play mode, which will be used whenever you select the Play button
in the Transport toolbar (or hit the Spacebar). Play Normal is the current play mode
in the playbar graphic shown above.
To change the current play mode, press the corresponding playbar button or
use Control+Spacebar.
